Hi Ian,
I read at a rumour site here that Mr.Tanaka (I added Mr. simply to imply it's a name), the interviewer of various interviews I posted at the end of the last year) had a talk show at CP+, the "Tokyo" Photo Imaging show, held earlier this month outside of Tokyo.

He seems to have said there that "Let's support Pentax. They are now pondering over if or not they should introduce a mirror-less model with full size censor."
Pentax seems to be indecisive in this point. Maybe their limited resources could be the reason for it. But I think it is interesting. A mirror-less camera most likely with larger and heavier lenses than existing mirror-less models. A different approach. As tininess and lightness have been the keywords for developlent of those cameras.
Well, they have already little Q system.

This guy has relatively good information at least as far as Pentax is concerned, having been a tester of Pentax camera(s) such as 645D.
